Charity Motorcycle run



This past weekend we had a memorial Motorcycle run for my best Friend who passed away 4 years ago, it is also a charity fund raiser for a local children’s activity he used to volunteer for.
 It is hard to think I have gone 4 years without hearing his voice or to have him play a joke on me, but as in life all good things come to an end, and he met his way, way too early!

 The event raised money this year for a youth Football team called the Quincy Menets, they are a football team that Justin (my friend) coached and volunteered a lot of his time to, located in Quincy Massachusetts in a section called Houghs neck.  We were raising money for the kid’s safety equipment and uniforms and for whatever else they may need.




 We had a Pig Roast and BBQ chicken, with baked beans, corn and salad for food with coffee, soda water as well as the Bar. There was live music and a DJ playing music in between the live acts. There were over 50 raffle items to help raise money and t-shirts with a design Justin’s brother drew special for this occasion.




Justin was an artist and made a pretty successful go at it designing shirts and painting morals and designs for Tattoos and as an auction item his family put up one of his drawings of a Blues singer playing a harmonica at the house of blues.

 We had food, drink and entrainment, Motorcycle games and we all shared stories about Justin and his antics, Justin lived his life to the fullest, every second he was alive was an adventure I got to share with him, never a dull moment when we were together that is for sure.


 Thank you to Sue and all the Sherburne's for all the hard work that went into it. Thank you to the Dilks’, the VFW in North Eastern, Massachusetts, The Lafayette club in Taunton Massachusetts, and to all the people that donated and helped out.



Forever Side by Side . . . I Remember you, I Miss you, I Love you, See you on the flipside fatty!
